Butter It Up!

Favorite Restaurant Beef Recipe

Adding complementary and delicious flavors to your steak recipe enhances your dining pleasure!

There are three "keys" to this wonderful steak:

• select a tender cut of quality natural beef steak
• cook the beef to the exact doneness you like
• add the properly prepared brandy butter

Steak Recipe with Brandy Butter

Preparation time: 10-12 minutes. Serves 4, but you may have extra butter to freeze for other times and other favorite restaurant beef recipes!

Ingredients:

• 1 pound butter
• 2 ounces brandy
• 1 tablespoon coarse ground black pepper or peppercorns
• 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
• 1/2 ounce fresh garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• Four 4-6 ounce steaks (sirloin or another tender cut of beef steak)

Instructions for this restaurant recipe:

• Put all steak butter ingredients in a food processor and process until creamy (or mix the old fashioned way in a bowl with a spoon until creamy)
• You can heat your brandy butter in a pan or skillet if you wish (optional)
• Get your barbecue or your broiler hot
• Brush the steaks with olive oil and place on grill
• DO NOT SALT MEAT until it is off the grill
• Cook to desired doneness (temperature)
• Plate the steaks and let them "rest" for a minute or two (they deserve it)
• Serve the steaks topped with about 1 tablespoon of the brandy butter

That's it! Good job!

Hey, what about the remaining brandy butter? No problem. Place in a container and into the freezer to use again!

I recommend using a meat thermometer to achieve perfection in getting the exact doneness you desire for your steak. (See cooking temps below).

Meat Thermometer Cooking Temperatures
NOTE! The meat continues to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the heat.

• RARE: 130-140 degrees
• MEDIUM-RARE: 140-150 degrees
• MEDIUM: 150-160 degrees
• WELL DONE: 160-170 degrees
